Club re-elects Winter fund members

Roswell Rotary Club members unanimously re-elected four members to the club’s Gus Winter Fund Board.

Board president Howard Perry on Nov. 17 placed the names of Mike Alber, Trent Bates, Andy Miller, and Jim Gill before the Rotary Club for re-election to another term. All were unanimously re-elected.


The Gus Winter Fund annually distributes aid to needy people in Chaves County. The Board’s goal is to annually collect $1 for each year of each club member’s age.


Perry reported to the club the Gus Winter Fund during the past year has helped with medical expenses for poor people in Chaves County, and contributed $1,000 to the Community Kitchen and the Salvation Army.


The fund started when Winter left $1 to his son and $30,000 each to local civic clubs to help the needy. The Roswell Rotary Club fund has since grown to $325,000.
